business strategy. Clients expect their counsel has considered and will alert
them to intellectual property issues and strategy. Learn the intellectual
property law basics required to meet these expectations and to see opportunities
and pitfalls -- particularly in light of the sweeping changes in the 2012
America Invents Act. Topics include:
